    lol i have a piece of leather speckled because i was sanding a knife by it as soon as i wetted it to tool .......tiny black speckles. the iron reacts with the tannins used in the tanning process turning the leather black so any iron that touches it wet will turn it.

    Awesome!!!! steel wool works fast but any regular iron of will work Nails for example . it doesn't have to be just steel wool if you ever run into this problem again..

    What do you apply to keep the leather conditioned/ oiled/ leather needs lube of some sort to keep its flexibility, Another thing to think about if he continually gets it wet the oils will eventually wash out and leave stiff dry leather that cracks. if you sent it conditioned and flexible then maybe all you can do is educate the customer on proper maintenance of his leather.

    none of the copies i have seen really match, i think a pear shader is the key the leaves don't look correct in most of them IMO. some look like an embossing wheel actually.

    lol a pencil and paper are faster for me than a computer its a quick sketch, would need some refining for sure but that the just of it, , a camo tool a pear shader, a few knife cuts and a standard backgrounder. from what i can see but i cant see that well. Hope i have helped good luck ps now i have another pattern too lol.
  12. chuck123wapati
    yup this is what i see as the basic pattern 3/4" wide 1/8" borders tapered to a 1/2" buckle

    the pattern repeats and you have it all in that pic the final is all you need now.
  15. chuck123wapati
    i think its the same pattern but the original is much better done. The copy has been carved to thin to add the camo tooling and more background shows. the original has almost zero background and fills the whole strap.
  16. chuck123wapati
    Well double dang your right and the design is thicker, takes up more space on the strap

    oops posted someone elses work instead of my own but it is a nice style and work all credit to Patrick Slivka

    a pancake style doesn't need a strap tension holds the knife in place.
  19. chuck123wapati
    i think a guy could enlarge those pictures and get a good design, but dang i just spent 20 minutes lookin at cool hats!!

    very nice rig, i like that wide lacing you don't see it often enough anymore and that shooter makes a sweet little package for a crossdraw.
  21. chuck123wapati
    that is nice, tell us about the forming and how did you sew the bottom.
  22. chuck123wapati
    with out seeing any pictures its hard to say but i would start with saddle soap. read and follow the directions.
  23. chuck123wapati
